PROJECT SUMMARY We propose a continuation of the annual Strategic Conference of Zebrafish Investigators (SCZI), the main meeting of principal investigators using the zebrafish model. Previously, this was a biannual conference held in Asilomar, USA. In 2019, the International Zebrafish Society collaborated with the European Zebrafish Society to adopt a 3-year rotation schedule for both their larger International Zebrafish Conference (IZFC) gathering zebrafish researchers at all career stages and the SCZI so that the locations will rotate between US/Canada, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. This new, focused meeting structure aims to promote greater international collaboration by reducing the total number of international conferences, supporting the goals of both societies to increase inclusivity and to reduce the travel-associated carbon footprint. The SCZI is a prime venue for zebrafish principal investigators to discuss current research and promote coordinated advancement of research using zebrafish as a model system (as well as connections to related, emerging aquatic models). The meeting will accommodate up to 200 principal investigators. The proposed 10th SCZI meeting will take place in 2024 in Asilomar, CA; continuation of the series will follow in Europe 2025, Asia-Pacific in 2026, and so on. The zebrafish has become a powerful model organism for the genetic analysis of vertebrate development. Moreover, the zebrafish has emerged as a versatile vertebrate system to model human diseases and discover underlying mechanisms, especially when used in conjunction with other vertebrate models, and to screen for therapeutics and toxins. Advances in forward and in particular, reverse genetics, imaging techniques, transgenesis, and chemical screening are rapidly and widely disseminated throughout an active, collaborative community that has grown in coherence and connectivity through international meetings. The proposed SCZI meeting will continue to foster the critical development of resources, establishment of collaborations, and expansion of interdisciplinary interactions. Importantly, one third of past participants have been new investigators: in addition to the open access to new findings in the field and to establish collaborations, new investigators will have the opportunity to attend discussion sessions on topics such as grant writing and balancing professional development and personal growth chaired by senior investigators. Past meetings have had a solid record of inclusion of women and minority participants, and we will continue to provide inclusive meeting environment. This grant will provide financial assistance for up to 30 US-based junior laboratory heads to attend the conference. Recipients of financial support will be chosen based on the impact and originality of their abstracts as well as considering gender, race, career stage, and need.

项目摘要 我们建议继续召开斑马鱼研究者年度战略会议（SCZI）， 使用斑马鱼模型的主要研究者会议。此前，这是一个两年一度的会议， 在美国阿西洛马举行。2019年，国际斑马鱼协会与欧洲斑马鱼协会合作， 协会通过了一个为期3年的轮换时间表，为他们更大的国际斑马鱼会议（IZFC） 将所有职业阶段的斑马鱼研究人员和SCZI聚集在一起，以便地点在 美国/加拿大、欧洲和亚太地区。这种新的、有重点的会议结构旨在促进更大的国际合作。 通过减少国际会议的总数，支持两个社会的目标， 增加包容性，减少与旅行相关的碳足迹。SCZI是斑马鱼 主要研究者讨论当前的研究，并利用 斑马鱼作为模型系统（以及与相关的新兴水生模型的连接）。会议将 最多可容纳200名主要调查员。拟议的第10次SCZI会议将于2024年在 Asilomar，CA;该系列的延续将在2025年的欧洲，2026年的亚太地区，等等。 斑马鱼已成为脊椎动物遗传学研究的重要模式生物 发展此外，斑马鱼已经成为一种多功能的脊椎动物系统，可以模拟人类疾病 并发现潜在的机制，特别是当与其他脊椎动物模型结合使用时， 检测治疗药物和毒素在正向和反向遗传学，成像技术， 转基因和化学筛选是迅速和广泛传播整个积极的，合作的， 通过国际会议，社区的一致性和连通性得到了加强。拟议的SCZI 会议将继续促进资源的关键开发，建立合作， 扩大跨学科的互动。重要的是，过去的参与者中有三分之一是新的 调查人员：除了开放获取实地新发现和建立合作外， 研究人员将有机会参加讨论会的主题，如赠款的写作和平衡 专业发展和个人成长由高级调查员主持。过去的会议有一个坚实的 妇女和少数民族参与者的包容性记录，我们将继续提供包容性的 会议环境。 这笔拨款将资助最多30名驻美国的初级实验室主任参加 会议财政支持的接受者将根据其摘要的影响力和原创性进行选择 以及考虑性别、种族、职业阶段和需求。
